ULOG (061) "ROAD TRIP" - CROSSING THE MIGHTY MISSISSIPPI

in #ulog6 years ago

Mr & Mrs @paradise-found went for a road trip this week. We drove 900 miles from Wisconsin to Missouri. Along the way we passed from the state of Illinois into the state of Missouri. On the border between these two states is the "Mighty Mississippi."

As we traveled across the great Mississippi I decided to shoot a video. You can experience this crossing by clicking on the video below. Sorry for the bugs on the windshield, but it was a long drive.

Mississippi River facts

The Mississippi River is the chief river of the second-largest drainage system on the North American continent, second only to the Hudson Bay drainage system. The stream is entirely within the United States (although its drainage basin reaches into Canada), its source is Lake Itasca in northern Minnesota and it flows generally south for 2,320 miles (3,730 km) to the Mississippi River Delta in the Gulf of Mexico. With its many tributaries, the Mississippi's watershed drains all or parts of 31 U.S. states and two Canadian provinces between the Rocky and Appalachian Mountains. The Mississippi ranks as the fourth-longest and fifteenth-largest river in the world by discharge. The river either borders or passes through the states of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Louisiana.
